Ban exotic pets
Ownership of exotic animals, not only threatens the general public if they escape, but our delicate ecosystem that is not accustomed to their presence. These animals have their rights abused from being subjugated to artificial, cramped conditions with constant human handling
As a biologist and someone who believes in animal rights, I find it deplorable that a nation such as ours allows the suppression and vile abuse of these often at risk animals. For instance lions and other exotic cats are at risk in their natural environment of the African savanna. I understand there are regulations surrounding the ownership of these creatures. But it is simply not enough. These animals MUST be in their own natural environments, helping their population numbers

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to cover as 'exotic pets'
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as banning the ownership of wild animals currently covered by the requirement for a licence:
